"In 2001, then-Carol Brey stood up against the Texas Rangers who accused her of obstructing law enforcement over the release of library records (and attempted to invoke the Patriot Act.) The mayor of El Paso, Texas would not allow the Texas Rangers jurisdiction to investigate the matter and instead called for an investigation conducted by the El Paso Police Department. Brey turned to the American Library Association Merritt Fund and a lawyer named Francisco Domínguez, and the El Paso police for the purpose of protecting intellectual freedom and privacy of library users.[3]

From 2004 to 2005, Brey-Casiano served as the president of the American Library Association.[2][4] Beginning in 2010, Brey served as an Information Resource Officer (IRO) for the United States Department of States, serving in Brazil (2011-2013) and Argentina (2015-2018) and covering most of South America.

Thomas Kimball Brooker, PhD, Presented with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award by Marquis Who's Who. Since 1989, Dr. Brooker has been President of Barbara Oil Company, originally an exploration and development oil and gas company headquartered in Chicago. Founded in 1888 by Charles B. Shaffer with producing properties in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, the private family owned company changed direction in 1990 after settling an important law suit and redirected its activities to become primarily an investment company. Previously Dr. Brooker had been a Managing Director of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, where he was the head of its Chicago office and responsible for the twelve state Midwest region. He began his career at Morgan Stanley in New York in 1968 working in the Corporate Finance Department and was promoted to Vice President in 1973 and then Managing Director in 1976. In New York his primary responsibilities related to project financings, principally oil and gas pipelines, including the Alaskan oil pipeline, the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic Gas Pipeline project, and the Mexican gas pipeline from Reynosa Field to Texas. In 1978, he was tasked with organizing Morgan Stanley's first domestic branch office in Chicago. There, besides managing the office, he was responsible for the investment banking operations of existing relationships and developing new clients. He managed to win over a host of new clients including Oscar Mayer, Sunbeam, Searle, Allen Bradley, Parker Pen, Combined Insurance (later AON), Brady Corporation, and others.

Involved with the Midwest Stock Exchange (later renamed Chicago Stock Exchange) as a member of the board of directors and ultimately Vice Chairman, he also served on the board of directors of the public companies Zenith Electronics Corporation, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., and Boulevard Bank Corporation as well as the private companies Miami Corporation, Cutler Oil & Gas, and Barbara Oil Company.

Outside of his business activities, Dr. Brooker achieved success in his scholarly and philanthropic pursuits. Having developed a life long interest in fifteenth and sixteenth century books and manuscripts while at Yale University (B.A. 1962), he continued this interest by collecting books of this period and through his associations with rare book libraries. He is a Trustee of the Morgan Library and Museum in New York and the Newberry Library in Chicago and has served as a Governor of the John Carter Brown Library in Providence. In addition, he serves as a member of the Visiting Committee of the University of Chicago Library and a similar committee at the Yale University Library as well as previously the head of the Scholarly Committee of the Bibliotheca Wittockiana in Brussels. He served as Vice Chairman and then Chairman of the Trustees of the Yale Library Association, the name of the Yale University Library's Visiting Committee, as well as Chairman of the Committee of the Library for the President of Yale's Council. His interest in early books and libraries provided the subject matter for three advanced university degrees: at Harvard Business School his M.B.A. Master's thesis dealt with "Rare Books as a Hedge against Devaluation and Inflation"; at the University of Chicago his master's paper in the History of Art Department treated "The Diffusion of Binding Styles in the Sixteenth Century between Italy and France"; and his doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago was titled "Upright Works: The Emergence of the Vertical Library in the Sixteenth Century". Since then, he has written numerous articles on similar subjects published in scholarly journals or volumes, edited four scholarly texts dealing with bibliophilic matters, and written a book titled "Index of the Best Books" dealing with the list of books that the librarian of Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, an important prelate and diplomat, prepared for him in 1547 to assist in the creation of Granvelle's library, one of the largest in Europe at the time. (A list of his publications is below).

In addition to Dr. Brooker's involvement with rare book libraries, he has been active in bibliophilic societies, their governance and their scholarly endeavors. As a long time member of the Grolier Club of New York (since 1962), he served on its Council for ten years, first as Chairman of the House Committee from 1969 to 1970 and then as Chairman of the Finance Committee from 1971 to 1979. Also a long time member (since 1965) of the Association Internationale de Bibliophilie, a French organization headquartered in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, he has served on its Conseil d'Administration (Board of Directors) since 1989 and as its President from 2006 to 2013, now holding the title of Président d'Honneur. He is one of very few Americans ever to have been elected a member of the Société des Bibliophiles François, an organization founded in 1820. He is also a member of the Société Royale des Bibliophiles et Iconophiles de Belgique and the Caxton Club of Chicago. As a result of his scholarly publications, he was elected a corresponding member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Telmo in Spain in 2000 and of the Académie des Sciences, Belles Lettres et Beaux Arts de Besançon in France in 2017.

Obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in French Literature from Yale University in 1962, Dr. Brooker completed service as a lieutenant in the supply corps of the United States Navy from 1962 to 1966. He continued his academic efforts at Harvard University, graduating with a Master of Business Administration in 1968. Dr. Brooker concluded his studies with a Master of Arts in 1989 and a Doctor of Philosophy in art history at the University of Chicago in 1996.

While a Senior at Yale, Dr. Brooker accepted the Adrian Van Sinderen Prize in 1962. Established in 1957 by Adrian Van Sinderen, the award encourages undergraduate students to collect books, build their own libraries and read for pleasure and education. Dr. Brooker created and endowed a similar award for second and fourth year students at the University of Chicago in 1994. Dr. Brooker was also presented with the Sir Thomas More medal for book collecting from the University of California in 1982, an award bestowed on major collectors from the United States and Europe.

Dr. Brooker has been featured in approximately 70 editions of Who's Who, including Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the World and Who's Who in Finance and Business between 1988 and 2016.

Making meaning : "Printers of the mind" and other essays 0 reviews Authors:D. F. McKenzie (Author), Peter D. McDonald (Editor), Michael F. Suarez (Editor) Making Meaning : “Printers of the Mind” and Other Essays. 2002. Amherst Massachusetts: University of Massachusetts Press. Summary:"The greatest bibliographer of our time," was how historian Robert Darnton described D.F. McKenzie. Yet until now many of McKenzie's major essays, scattered in specialist journals and inaccessible publications, have circulated mainly in tattered photocopies. This volume, edited by two of McKenzie's former students, brings together for the first time a wide range of his writings on bibliography, the book trade, and the "sociology of texts." Selected by the author himself before his sudden death in 1999, the essays range from the material transmission of Shakespeare's plays in the seventeenth century to the connections among oral, manuscript, and print cultures. Making Meaning reflects McKenzie's virtuosity as a traditional bibliographer and reveals how his thought-provoking scholarship made him a driving force in the genesis and development of the new interdisciplinary field of book history. His refusal to recognize the traditional boundary between bibliography and literary history re-energized the study of the social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of book production and reception. -- Book cover

An endowed lectureship in bibliography established in 1929 by the rare-book and MSS dealer A. S. W. *Rosenbach. Rosenbach began his collecting career while a student at the University of Pennsylvania, and later founded this annual lecture series to bring distinguished bibliographers to the University of Pennsylvania. The lectures are normally hosted at the *Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center of the University, and are free and open to the public. Rosenbach’s Philadelphia home and personal collections later became part of the *Rosenbach Foundation.

The Lyell Readership in Bibliography at Oxford University is endowed by a bequest from James Patrick Ronaldson Lyell (1871–1948), a solicitor, book collector and bibliographer.

Each year since 1952, a distinguished scholar has been elected to deliver the lectures, usually six in number, on any topic of bibliography, broadly conceived.

J.P.R. Lyell lived in Oxford and (on his retirement) in Abingdon from 1927 until the end of his life. Even as a young man he was interested in collecting early printed books, and he made a study of early book illustration in Spain. In the 1930s he began collecting medieval manuscripts, eventually accumulating some 250 of these, of which one hundred were bequeathed to the Bodleian Library. A further series of some 65 manuscripts, mostly post-medieval, were bought by the Library from his executors.

The first Lyell lectures, for the academic year 1952–3, were delivered by Neil R. Ker, university reader in palaeography and fellow of Magdalen College. https://visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/event/the-lyell-lectures

Librarians at War: https://www.americanheritage.com/librarians-war by Kathy Preiss: Information Hunters: When Librarians, Soldiers, and Spies Banded Together in World War II Europe (Oxford University Press, 2020) explores the uses and meaning of print culture in a time of war and devastation. Originating in the hidden story of a family member, Information Hunters reveals the efforts of American librarians, scholars, and archivists to find and preserve books and documents for national security, military planning, and postwar reconstruction. Working with the military and intelligence agencies, they fostered new approaches to information, pushed for the internationalization of American book collections, and played key roles in the denazification and restitution of book collections after the war. Heading the Stockholm operation was Adele Kibre, the only woman to serve as an agent in the field. She grew up in Hollywood, in a family connected to the film industry, but she had a scholarly bent and went to the University of Chicago to earn a PhD in medieval linguistics. Like many women of her era, she was denied an academic career. Instead, she carried on her own research while employed by senior faculty to go abroad and copy rare books and manuscripts. At the Vatican Library in 1934, she observed other scholars “rapidly filming their research materials with miniature cameras,” and she trained herself to do the same.

Adele was in Germany when war broke out, experienced an air raid drill in the Prussian State Library in Munich, left Paris just before the German invasion, made her way to Lisbon, and landed in the United States in March 1941. Soon she returned to Europe, this time to head the Anglo-American Microfilm Unit in Stockholm, reproducing enemy publications for U.S. and British intelligence. She developed channels to acquire works through local booksellers, sympathetic academics, librarians, and government agencies. She also had contacts with the Danish resistance and the clandestine press, and worked with the British to smuggle technical manuals from Germany into Sweden. She was the most effective agent in the OSS acquisitions program, producing over 3,000 reels of microfilm and supplying many books to London and Washington.

  • These included several American librarians: microfilm expert Ralph Carruthers and librarian Reuben Peiss for the OSS, and Manuel Sanchez, sent by the Library of Congress. Sanchez arrived first, and, after shaking off Portuguese undercover agents tailing him, started to purchase works on the open market and gain access to secret materials.

This is an ongoing project to convert the bibliographies on LHRT's website into a more searchable form. It will lead you to published books and articles. It can be more valuable than Library Literature, LISA, and LISTA because LHRT's bibliography only includes articles that are written from a historical perspective. In other words, it's not cluttered by articles on current practice. It also goes beyond library science databases to include material published in history, humanities, and other fields. 100 of The Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century: www.library.illinois.edu/ala/research-guides/... . This is based on an article published in American Libraries in 1999. The ALA Archives has annotated it with links to archival collections. ALA's Professional Recognition site: www.ala.org/awardsgrants/awards/browse/... . Sometimes the names of awards refer to important people in library history. Also, recipients of the awards provide a sense of who is impacting the profession in more recent times.

HART CHART https://dictionarysociety.com/history-michael-adams-spring-2021/ Laurance H. Hart was, as his obituary in The Central New Jersey Home News (November 28, 1964) observed, “one of [Metuchen, New Jersey’s] most colorful citizens.” With decades of further hindsight, that seems an understatement. A civil engineer with a degree from The Ohio State University, Hart had helped construct and maintain the New York State Barge Canal, but he also sold encyclopedias in Michigan and later became an insurance agent. He organized the Ohio ball celebrating the election of Warren G. Harding as president of the United States; he was president of The Ohio State University Alumni Association. From 1931 forward, he also impersonated George Washington in more than 4,000 events in 32 states, from kindergarten classrooms to the Harvard Faculty Club, on radio, on television, at the New York World’s Fair.

Hart also set up as a critic of encyclopedias, atlases, and dictionaries, producing what came to be known as “Hart Charts” [for an example, see Hart Chart Whole (1) at end of article]. According to Neil Gallagher, in an article titled “Like Washington, Hart Believes in Truth,” in The Central New Jersey Home News (February 21, 1962), he started with encyclopedias in 1929, with dictionaries following in 1947. Apparently, the last printing of the 1962 chart appeared in 1964, as reproduced here.

He was an avid traveler, opera and baseball fan. Kenneth graduated from Shippensburg State College, PA-Army ROTC program. Also, Simmons College School of Library Science, Boston, Mass. Kenneth was predeceased by his beloved wife, Clarice and a brother, Lawrence.

In 1979, the committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship received the Bailey K. Howard – World Book Encyclopedia – ALA Goal Award to develop a profile of ALA personal members, Career Profiles and Sex Discrimination in the Library Profession.[1][2] In 1980, the committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship was awarded the J. Morris Jones – World Book Encyclopedia – ALA Goals Award with the OLPR Advisory Committee to undertake a special project on equal pay for work of equal value.[3]

Rainbow: The first leader was Israel David Fishman.[77] Barbara Gittings became its coordinator in 1971. In the early 1970s, the Task Force on Gay Liberation campaigned to have books about the gay liberation movement at the Library of Congress reclassified from HQ 71–471 ("Abnormal Sexual Relations, Including Sexual Crimes"). In 1972, after receiving a letter requesting the reclassification, the Library of Congress agreed to make the shift, reclassifying those books into a newly created category, HQ 76.5 ("Homosexuality, Lesbianism—Gay Liberation Movement, Homophile Movement"). In 1971, the GLBTRT created the first award for GLBT books, the Stonewall Book Award, which celebrates books of exceptional merit that relate to LGBT issues. Patience and Sarah by Alma Routsong (pen name Isabel Miller) was the first winner. In 1992, American Libraries published a photo of the GLBTRT (then called the Gay and Lesbian Task Force) on the cover of its July/August issue, drawing both criticism and praise from the library world. Some commenters called the cover "in poor taste" and accused American Libraries of "glorifying homosexuality," while others were supportive of the move. Christine Williams, who wrote an essay about the controversy surrounding the cover, concluded that in the mid-90s, the library world was "not an especially welcoming place to gays and lesbians." In 2010, the GLBTRT announced a new committee, the Over the Rainbow Committee. This committee annually compiles a bibliography of books that show the GLBT community in a favorable light and reflects the interests of adults. The bibliographies provide guidance to libraries in the selection of positive GLBT materials.

See introduction (Links to an external site.) to Beyond Article 19: Libraries and Social and Cultural Rights (Links to an external site.) We know about Article 19 as a fundamental support for intellectual freedom, but there is less attention in the library world given to Article 27, about cultural rights. The book explores Article 27 and cultural rights in relation to libraries.


In 1924 William S. Learned wrote of the potential of the American public library as an agency for adult education in The American Public Library and the Diffusion of Knowledge.[4]

The American Library Association Adult Education Board established a new responsibility to the adult reader in 1942 which was reviewed in the study, Adult Education Activities in Public Libraries. [5]

The Adult Education Act of 1966 [6] linked literacy education and adult basic education programs. This occurred at the same time that the Library Services and Construction Act was being passed. [7]


In 1991 the U.S. Adult Educaton Act was twenty-five years old. This anniversary was marked by the U.S. Office Education with the publication, Partners for Lifelong Learning, Public Libraries and Adult Education. [8]

In the mid 1960’s, Florida faced a period of desegregation in all of education. As part of the state’s desegregation plan, the state decided to merge the twelve black community colleges (which had been established in association with local formerly black high schools by their local school boards) with the newly created community/junior colleges in those twelve districts. This limited each district to one community college; but, permitted multiple centers to be created in order to serve the whole population of the district. As such, Booker T. Washington Junior College was merged with Pensacola Junior College, Carver Junior College was merged with Brevard Community College, Collier-Blocker Junior College was merged with St. Johns River Community College, Gibbs Junior College was merged with St. Petersburg Junior College, Hampton Junior College was merged with Central Florida Community College, Jackson College was merged with Chipola Junior College, Johnson College was merged with Lake-Sumter Junior College, Lincoln College was merged with Indian River Community College, Roosevelt College was merged with Palm Beach Community College, Rosenwald College was merged with Gulf Coast Community College, Suwannee River College was merged with North Florida Community College, and Volusia Community College was merged with Daytona Beach Community College.--source: By a succinct history of the florida community college system--in 2012 Trustee Orientation Manual Dr. James L.

  • little mention is made, for example, of his important work as a collector and patron of the arts.1 Nicholas promoted not only a monarchic political principle, but also a monarchic taste and artistic criteria that had important consequences for Russia's artistic development. His artistic leanings were reflected in the formation of Russia's first public museum, the ‘New Hermitage’, an institution that helped form the taste of the Russian public.
  • In the 1830s, the Tsar organized the purchase of numerous important canvases of the Italian Renaissance. First of all, Raphael's Alba Madonna bought in 1836 by the Dutch banker W. G. Coesvelt
  • works of Benvenuto Tisi – also known as Garofalo – since Tisi's works at that time were often compared to those of the Urbino master. According to the Russian scholar Sergey Androsov, the Tsar had a ‘very special interest’ in the works of Garofalo, buying numerous examples on various occasions.
  • The idea of setting up the ‘New Hermitage’ as Russia's first public museum can be attributed to Nicholas I.

Philby handed over the names of prominent Catholics and anticommunists which the Vermehrens had so prized. A year later, when Allied forces finally reached Berlin and began looking for the men and women on the list, they discovered they were all gone, dead or deported or disappeared. As Guy Liddell, member of MI-5, reflected in his diaries, for the Russians the Catholic church was “the most powerful international force in opposition to communism.” he information passed on by the Vermehrens included a detailed description “of all their contacts in the Catholic underground in Germany, and the role they could play in a post-war democratic and Christian Germany.” This was intelligence of the greatest value, since it listed the names, addresses and occupations of all those who, like the Vermehrens, opposed Hitler but wished to prevent a communist takeover of their country—the “leading Catholic activists who could be instrumental in the post-war period in helping the Allies establish an anti-communist government in Germany.” For obvious reasons, with the Red Army poised to march into Germany from the East, MI6 did not pass this list on to Moscow.

But Philby did.

After the war, Allied officers went in search of the anti-communist activists identified by the Vermehrens, people who “could have formed the backbone of a Conservative Christian post-war German political leadership”.

A group of 4 standing and one fallen stones, again (from memory) about 2.5m high. This latter seems the most likely influence on AP, if the group was indeed the influence at all.

Of Broom-Lynne's series of dust jackets for Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time Powell's biographer, Hilary Spurling, observed, that Broom-Lynne produced "a series of bold, grainy, instantly recognizable dust jackets that made Music of Time look quite unlike other novels." [6]

quotes from Nicholas Birns, Understanding Anthony Powell, University of south Carolina Press, 2004. “It is in The Acceptance World that Marxism enters onto the stage of Dance.” (117) “The world in which Jenkins ‘seemed to find himself’ (214) at the end of The Acceptance World is poised in an almost exact balance between satisfaction and sorrow.” (121) (of Books Do Furnish A Room) “the novel’s title connotes a provisional postwar recovery” (205) “Given the emphasis on literature in Books Do Furnish A Room, it is apt that we see more of Nicholas Jenkins as a writer than ever before” (211)

1916-1995 James William Broom-Lynne (31 October 1916 – 1 December 1995 ) was an English artist-designer, novelist (sometimes under the pseudonym of James Quartermain) and playwright who was notable for his illustrations for book jackets.[7]

Career

edit

Broom-Lynne learnt his craft at St. Martin's School of Art. He was prolific as a book illustrator, with over 200 dustcovers to his name, particularly for the publishing houses of Heinemann, Macdonald and Michael Joseph. He supplied cover artwork for, amongst others, Anthony Powell, Henry Williamson and H. E. Bates, with whom he collaborated on numerous works including the Larkin family series of novels, The Cruise of the Breadwinner and Love for Lydia.[8]

Gould, John A. “Best Friends: Constant Lambert and Anthony Powell.” Southwest Review 91, no. 1 (2006): 93–108. Hearing Secret Harmonies Jenkins muses on Ariosto's Orlando Furioso--specifically the section when Orlando's comrade-in-arms Astolpho travels to the Moon, to the Valley of Lost Things, to recover his friend's lost wits: "It was Astolpho's achievement to restore to Orlando his former lifestyle, make feasible for him the resumption of the Heroic Life." Powell performed a task something like this in creating Moreland, except that he made his Orlando more of a hero in fiction than Lambert ever was in life.

During the opening months of the Long Parliament, when so many assumptions of political life were being rewritten, the traditional system of press licensing, overseen by the episcopal authorities and the privy council and managed through the Stationers’ Company, effectively crumbled, opening space for a freewheeling, and to a certain extent, unregulated market of print.7 The reasons for this are not far to seek; with the convention of Parliament, the courts of Star Chamber and High Commission—the bodies most directly responsible for enforcing the li�censing regime—quickly retreated into cowed inactivity before being permanently abolished in July 1641.8 The king and his council were placed in a profoundly defensive position and had little choice but to watch as obnoxious, unlicensed publications attacking courtiers and the established church spilled from London’s presses. Meanwhile, prevailing sentiment in Parliament, particularly at the outset, was largely sympathetic to much of the complaint literature, satire, and news that now crammed city bookstalls, which meant that there seems to have been a general, if tacit, presumption that such previously forbidden material could now expect winking approval at the highest levels of the parliamentary establishment. This, in turn, fostered or reinforced an assumption among some pro-parliamentary en�thusiasts that the press during the “time of parliament” ought in some sense to be unfettered and hence able to provide a kind of public counsel and debate, much as members of the two houses could claim a protected privilege of free speech while Parliament was in session. Yet as the political situation became ever more contentious—and as the crown and its friends began to claw back initiative—both Parliament and the king made repeated attempts, working in tandem with the stationers, to stem the tide of unlicensed pamphlets now cascading from London’s presses.

Vol. I, Christopher Plantin and the Moretuses: their lives and their world. Amsterdam: Vangendt and Co., 1969. Pp. xxii-501. Anyone who has visited the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp knows how wonderfully it evokes a feeling for the scholarly and artistic culture which flourished around prominent early modern printers. For here, in the very building selected by the great Christopher Plantin for the headquarters of the largest publishing empire of the late sixteenth century, one still finds much of the equipment, the furnishings, the books, and the works of art he and his successors collected for their business and pleasure over a period of nearly three hundred years. One can also find here the nearly complete business records of these publishers, a collection of a richness hard to equal for any industrial firm, covering as it does more than two hundred years of intensive activity (1555-1765), and several further decades of diminishing and desultory activity. Many scholars have been attracted to these records, most notably the first director of the museum, Max Rooses, but there is still much to be done with them. It is altogether appropriate that the

Argentina Censorship

edit

Wilhelm, R. Dwight. “Censorship in Argentina.” International Social Science Review, vol. 66, no. 1, 1991, pp. 21–28. JSTOR, Argentina’s 1976-1983 Dictatorship: Book Burning

My summary/translation of sources:

The Military Junta who governed Argentina after the coup of March 24th 1976 and until December 1983 implemented concerted efforts to censor literature that was deemed “subversive.” When military operation groups conducted clandestine raids in homes of suspected subversive people and political opponents, they would ransack belongings and look through the books in their home’s personal libraries1. Finding certain authors and titles contributed to their decision to take the person with them. Many of those kidnapped in this manner became part of the “desaparecidos” (the disappeared). In addition to personal libraries and home raids, there was a concerted effort to censor literature that was deemed leftist, subversive, or damaging to values such as God and Country. There are several events that took place with the specific intention of destroying copies of titles considered dangerous. According to Invernizzi (qtd in Ruffa, 2006), the military government spent many resources in organizing this process. Censorship was centralized and controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was a very detailed, simple, and efficient process. Titles were analyzed and scrutinized by smart and prepared intellectuals and professionals. Although there are a few examples of mistakes or silly generalizations, like including a book because it had the word “cuba” in the title (a cuba is a lab equipment used in science), most of the titles were included because of the potential conclusions the reader would extract from them or because they were examples of critical thinking (Ruffa, 2006). Many children’s books were included in the banned lists, basically because they “questioned sacred values like family, religion, or country” (Guevara & Molfino, 2005).

Book burning known events:

• In July 1976, the Junta designated an “interventor” to the university press Eudeba (Editorial de la Universidad de Buenos Aires) who turned over to the Army 90,000 volumes of books. These were burned in the Palermo site of the 1st Army Corps (Primer Cuerpo del Ejército) (“Hace 35 años”, 2015).

• Also in 1976, Major General Luciano Benjamin Menéndez organized a massive book burning in the city of Córdoba, site of the 3rd Corps of the Army. Works by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Marcel Proust, and Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince were among them. Menéndez was quoted by the local press as stating: “To the end that no parts are left of these books, pamphlets, magazines… so that our children can’t continue to be misled. We destroy with fire the damaging documentation that affects the intellect and our Christian lifestyle” (Arrigoni & Bordat, 2011;Guevara & Molfino, 2005; “Hace 35 años”, 2015).

• “In 1977 in Rosario, thousands of books from the Constancio Vigil People’s Library [Biblioteca Popular] were burned and all users investigated” (Arrigoni & Bordat, 2011).


• On June 26, 1980 a Court order was issued that literature published by the Latin American Publishing Center (Centro Editor de América Latina – CEAL) of which Boris Spivacow was Director, needed to be burned. The burning took place in an open field in the city of Sarandí (7 miles south of the Capital). Spivacow was forced to observe the burn, as well as a photographer and other employees from the publishing company. Among the material burned that day there were works by Marx, Perón, and Che Guevara, but also books about science, history, and economics (“Hace 35 años”, 2015). According to author Graciela Cabal, the books took three days to burn, since some of them had been piled up and were damp. Her work was included as part of an encyclopedia for youth (Ruffa, 2006).


Direct Quote: “El destino final de muchos libros prohibidos era, entonces, arder en un pozo, en una hoguera común. Aunque hubo muchos otros casos, la quema de libros más grande de la dictadura argentina, o sea, la paradigmática, fue la que sufrió el Centro Editor de América Latina, que había fundado Boris Spivacow. El 30 de agosto de 1980 la policía bonaerense quemó en un baldío de Sarandí un millón y medio de ejemplares del sello, retirados de los depósitos por orden del juez federal de La Plata, Héctor Gustavo de la Serna” (Ruffa, 2006).

Translation (by me): “The final destination of many banned books was, therefore, to burn in a hole, in a common firepit. Although there were many other cases, the biggest book burning of the Argentine dictatorship, that is the most paradigmatic, was the one suffered by the Centro Editor de America Latina, founded by Boris Spivacow. On August 30, 1980, police from the Buenos Aires province burned one million and a half volumes from that publisher in an open field in Sarandí, titles that had been taken from the publisher’s warehouse by order of La Plata’s Federal Judge Hector Gustavo de la Serna.”

French National Library acquires lotharios manuscripts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRMdG2IlwoQ France's National Library has officially acquired on Thursday some rare manuscripts written by the 18th-century libertine Giacomo Casanova as French culture minister Frederic Mitterrand signed the deal confirming the acquisition with the heir of Brockhaus publishing house, the German publisher who acquired them in the 19th century. "The Brockhaus publishing house has recently wished to share with everybody this exceptional manuscript and it had the infinite elegance to inform the French government, to get in touch with it in order to enable us to acquire it by declaring it major heritage" Mitterrand said during the signature ceremony at the culture ministry. The highlight of the donation is the manuscript of Casanova's memoirs, 'The Story Of My Life', written in French in the late 1780s. "Thanks to this acquisition, everybody from now on will be able to have access to this essential script of our literature, and I will even say of the world literature, and especially, I hope, by its scanning soon on Gallica (digital library of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France). Let me add that an exhibition will present in 2011 the different aspects of this multiform work which contains an essential part of our history" Mitterrand added. An anonymous patron has financially help the BNF to acquire those precious and rare manuscripts.

Bell, Hazel. 1998. “Personalities in Publishing: Hans Wellisch.” Journal of Scholarly Publishing 29 (4): 227.

The career of Hans H. Wellisch shows grim drama and academic irony. Born in Vienna in 1020, the son of a newspaperman, he attained a certificate of matriculation at the Gymnasium (high school), which would have allowed him to enter the university of Vienna. However, being Jewish, he was arrested on the street at the age of eighteen after the German Kristallnacht of November 1938, and sent instead to what he refers to as 'the infamous college of Dachau.'(n1)

As Wellisch writes, 'I was there only for a relatively short time, about two and a half months, because when they grabbed me on the street I happened to have already a visa to Sweden. I was supposed to emigrate there to be trained in agriculture. That helped somewhat to free me from the camp because at that time the Nazis were more interested in getting rid of Jews than in killing them, although they did that on a large scale in the camp; but whoever they could get rid of quickly, they let go.' Thus Wellisch spent the years of World War II in Sweden, first working on a farm, then briefly in the special library of the Swedish Cooperative Federation. This gave him his only training in librarianship.

In 1949, involved in the Zionist movement, Wellisch emigrated to the new state of Israel and became the librarian of the Signal Corps of the Israel Defense Forces (the library room had been converted from a British army brothel); then in 1956 he became the Head of the Information Center of TAHAL, a civil engineering company specializing in water resources development. He taught (untaught) indexing and cataloguing and founded the first centralized cataloguing service for public libraries. He was a founding member and secretary of the Israel Society of Special Libraries and Information Centers, wrote the first Hebrew textbook on the management of special libraries, compiled the first Hebrew filing code for libraries, and initiated the compilation of the Hebrew-English- French- German Dictionary of Library Terms by a committee of the Academy of the Hebrew Language.

In 1967 the United Nations sponsored Wellisch for a study tour through the United States to study computerized information systems for libraries. His published papers in information and library journals led to an invitation to the University of Maryland's College of Library and Information Services as a visiting lecturer. There, for the first time, in September 1969, he attended a university lecture -- one that he himself delivered. He received a PhD there in 1975 (after completing his thesis on script conversion -- transliteration and transcription), was promoted to professor in 1981, and on his retirement in 1987 was honoured as professor emeritus.

Wellisch's research interests have included linguistic aspects of information science, the theory and practice of classification and the subject analysis of texts, the problems of script conversion (e.g., Romanization) as it affects the retrieval of information, the history of books and indexes, and the standardization of information work -- as well as the physical planning and architecture of libraries.

Since 1957 Wellisch has been active in the work of the International Federation for Documentation (FID) as a contributor to the Universal Decimal Classification. He oversaw the committee translating the abridgement of the UDC into Hebrew and compiled the index to the system. This stringent introduction to indexing led to a most distinguished career in that field. He joined the newly founded American Society of Indexers (ASI) in 1970, and for many years was ASI's representative to the National Information Standards Organisation and a member of the committee developing the revision of the American National Standard for thesaurus construction. Wellisch organized and edited the Proceedings of the International PRECIS Workshop held at the University of Maryland in 1976. From 1984 to 1985 he served as president of ASI. He was the first recipient of the H.W. Wilson Company/ASI Indexing Award for the index to his own book, The Conversion of Scripts: Its Nature, History and Utilization (John Wiley & Sons 1978). In 1996 he received the other major US award presented to indexers, the Hines Award, which 'recognizes individuals who have shown continuous dedicated and exceptional service to the membership of the American Society of Indexers.'

At the first international conference of the UK Society of Indexers in 1978, Wellisch delivered a substantial paper, 'Early Multilingual and Multiscript Indexes in Herbals' (October 1978), which proved but the first of a series of outstanding contributions he was to make to that society's professional journal, The Indexer. These included 'The Alphabetization of Prepositions in Indexes' (October 1980),'"Indexes" and "Indexing" in Encyclopedias' (April 1981), 'From the 17th Century: A German Instruction in Indexing' (October 1981), 'More on Indexes in Encyclopedias' (April 1982), '"Index": The Word, Its History, Meanings and Usages' (April 1983), and 'Incunabula Indexes' (April 1984). His Indexing and Abstracting: An International Bibliography (published by ABC-Clio in co-operation with the American Society of Indexers and the Society of Indexers) appeared in 1980, to be reviewed in The Indexer as 'a comprehensive survey of literature on indexing and abstracting,' and followed in 1984 by Indexing and Abstracting 1977-1981: An International Bibliography (ABC-Clio). From 1986 to 1988 this current-awareness bibliography was resumed in the form of regular instalments Wellisch supplied to The Indexer.

Wellisch has written several dozens of articles on various topics in library and information work. As The Indexer noted in 1984,

Through the issues of the ASI newsletters runs the exuberant rhetoric of Hans Wellisch's castigations of a certain kind of computer-generated index. His targets include the uncontrolled reproduction of variant spellings and printers' literals from original sources, undifferentiated references, space (and purchaser's money) wasted on reproducing the unused parts of catalogue cards, pre-co-ordinated subject-heading lists 'applying the rules of the 19th century to late-20th-century information-retrieval,' the so-called specialist dictionaries whose entries lead not to definitions but to the (often inadequately selected) reference-books from which the term has been extracted with no discrimination, the total omission of diacritical marks on foreign names ... Among other deeply-felt sentiments we may find the following expressed: 'How this can be useful to man or beast escapes me... a frightful example of how the computer will run amok if left to produce an index without any human control.., computerized indexing gone haywire, all in the interests of making a fast buck by producing a pseudo-reference book the quick and dirty way ....' If anyone is so foolhardy as to challenge Dr Wellisch's views, I feel sure the entire membership of all four of our societies will stand forth in his defence.'(n2)

The selected bibliography of Wellisch's works now lists eighteen books and sixty articles. Most recent are Abstracting, Indexing, Classification, Thesaurus Construction: A Glossary (American Society of Indexers 1996) and Indexing from A to Z, 2nd ed. (H.W. Wilson 1996). The latter consists of ninety-eight essays, hailed by reviewers as 'probably the most useful resource available for the person who must compile a print index';(n3) 'an encyclopaedic reference source, and the distilled personal testimony of a master teacher and indexer who cares deeply about correct and elegant indexing.'(n4)

A paradoxical career: a professor emeritus who has attained both of the highest awards to indexers in the United States after starting without benefit of university education or training in librarianship or indexing; like Nabokov, the author of many scholarly and subtle works in a language not his own; and a historian of bibliography who regards publishing today as 'among the most conservative enterprises in modern society.(n5)

OBIT:

WELLISCH, HANS H.

Wellisch, Hans H(Anan) 1920-2004 Born April 25, 1920, in Vienna, Austria; died of complications from diabetes February 6, 2004, in Rockville, WA. Librarian, educator, and author. Wellisch was widely regarded as an authority on indexing methods and the Universal Decimal Classification system. As a Jewish youth in Vienna, he was sent to the Dachau concentration camp by the Nazis, but managed to be released when he obtained a visa from Sweden. From 1939 to 1949, he remained in that country, where he received training in farming and became a library assistant, carpenter, and newsletter editor. With the founding of Israel, Wellisch and his wife moved to the new country, and he joined the Israeli Army's Signal Corps as a librarian. It was here that Wellisch first learned the Universal Decimal Classification system, a method for indexing technical and scientific publications. A study grant from the United Nations permitted Wellisch to visit the University of Maryland in 1967; two years later, the university invited him to join the School of Library Science as a visiting lecturer. He remained in Maryland for the rest of his career. Here he attended graduate school, earning an M.L.S. in 1972 and a Ph.D. in 1975, and was named a Distinguished Scholar by the division of human and community resources in 1983, before becoming a full professor in 1987; he retired the next year. Wellisch was a prolific writer and researcher, with eighteen books and pamphlets to his name. His most acclaimed work is Indexing from A to Z (1991; revised edition, 1995), which is widely regarded as a classic in the field. Among his many other works are The Conversion of Scripts: Its Nature, History, and Utilization (1978), Indexing and Abstracting, 1977-1981: An International Bibliography (1984), and Guidelines for Alphabetical Arrangement of Letters and Sorting of Numerals and Other Symbols (1999).

Encyclopedia 1080 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND POSTING [Obituary]

Dr. Hans H. Wellisch died Friday, February 6, 2004, of complications from diabetes at the Hebrew Home of Washington in Rockville, Maryland. He was 83 years old. Dr. Wellisch was Professor Emeritus of the College of Information Studies (CLIS), University of Maryland. He earned the rank of Chartered Librarian in the United Kingdom and received an M.L.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Maryland.

Dr. Wellisch was the world's foremost authority on the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), a widely used faceted classification system. He served as president of the American Society of Indexers. Another area of scholarly work was biography of authors of important bibliographies, including Conrad Gessner who is known as "the father of bibliography." A selected bibliography of Dr. Wellisch's works includes 18 books and pamphlets and 78 journal articles, written in several languages. A measure of his influence on scholarship was his ranking as number 5 among faculty in library and information science schools in a citation study of research productivity published in 1983. [Robert M. Hayes, "Citation Statistics as a Measure of Faculty Research Productivity," Journal of Education for Librarianship, v. 23, pp. 151-172]

The life of Hans Wellisch mirrors some of the most important political events of the mid-20th century. A native of Vienna, Austria, he was picked up by the Nazi SS on November 9, 1938, the day following Kristallnacht, and shipped to the concentration camp at Dachau. He was released in 1939 and sent to Sweden, as part of a contingent of Jewish youths assigned as farmhands in Sweden on the condition that they move to Palestine after a year of training in farming. World War II intervened, and Hans Wellisch lived in Sweden for 10 years, attending agricultural school and working as a library assistant, carpenter, farmer, and writer and editor of a newsletter. He married his wife Shulamith, also a survivor of the concentration camps. In 1949, they moved to the new state of Israel.

Because of his knowledge of languages, he was hired to work in the library of the Signal Corps of the Israeli army, where he first encountered the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) that became the foundation of much of his work in the long career that followed. In 1967 he came to the U.S. on a study grant from the United Nations to learn about computerization of libraries. He visited the University of Maryland, where he met Paul Wasserman, dean of the new School of Library and Information Services, as it was then known. In 1970 he returned to the university as a Visiting Lecturer in classification and cataloging, at Dr. Wassermanís invitation. In 1983-84, the Division of Human and Community Resources of the university honored him as a Distinguished Scholar. He retired from the university as full Professor in 1987. As his health declined in recent years, Dr. Wellisch was not able to physically participate in college life, but he maintained friendships with his colleagues and pursued his many intellectual interests through extensive reading and correspondence. He set a worthy example of exacting scholarship, gentle humor, and respect for all. He will be missed by his friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wellisch is survived by his wife, Shulamith B. Wellisch of Bethesda, MD, two daughters and one son, six grandchildren, and a brother. Cards and notes may be sent to the family in care of the College of Information Studies, University of Maryland, 4105 Hornbake Building, College Park, MD 20742.

In his first monograph, British Literary Culture and Publishing Practice, 1880–1914, he refashioned the sociological theories of Pierre Bourdieu to think about literary production as a microcosm in which writers, critics, publishers, printers, distributors and readers acted according to certain laws, established structures and codified practices.
